This is something that's very important that users find out and make sure to have them all set up to avoid any malfunction.

Yes and most of the new phone can make those settings and avoid the ad networks stealing their money and the overall data. I hope that changes in near future.

Seriously, what they do with our data shows how valuable they are which is why they would do anything to have it without paying for it.

The information they get by stealing the data, are very useful to them. Because, they share the data to third party companies for promotion that is indeed of different IPs, and other essential information about us.

 Getting data from users will be crucial in how they make the next devices and all of that. There are a lot of things data from those using the internet can do for them too.

It's really a shame that they have taken that path and the kind of money they are making won't let them stop it.

Yes every single keyword we type on the browser is used against us and shown ads too. I guess we may have to consider that part.

 The AI has been improved a lot that you can now do certain things and the next ads is about what you just finished doing. So, there is always that understanding that most of our activities are being monitored.

Yes, that's how they go about it. The world of Internet is way bigger than what we can imagine. People use the data for market research purposes and some are using it for fraudulent purposes.

Hmm, how is that possible? How did they calculate so fast to spread ads based on your topic of your discussion?

Data science algorithm. Like you have keywords, they match that keyword with advertiser and shortlist based on  data.
